Beyonce and Jay Z might have been all smiles during the MTV VMAs Sunday, but an expert says it was all a show and believes the two even used their daughter in attempt to shut down split rumors.

Dr. Lillian Glass told Hollywood Life Monday, "Her body language looks very stiff. And it's like they use Blue Ivy as a prop to show that their marriage is in tact but their language shows stiffness and there is no touching."

She went on to credit the Drunk in Love couple's 2-year-old daughter for the smiles that Beyonce wore while on stage with her family.

"If it wasn't for Blue Ivy she would not be having such a genuine smile. She just loves Blue Ivy and all of her attention is focused on her."

She added that the toddler is what keeps the family together before she breaks down why fans should not buy the idea that all is well in paradise with Bey and Jay.

"There is no joy reflected to each other. When he is talking into the microphone, she doesn't lean towards him, it is clear to the naked eye that something is going on deep down. Even though they are trying to spin that it is a happy family, the body language shows that there is still tension between Beyonce and Jay Z because all of their focus is on the baby."

The expert went on to say that kiss was "contrived." She pointed out that Beyonce held on to Blue Ivy but at the same time tried to keep her distance from Jay Z. A separate insider also told the site that they are trying to work on their marriage and have decided to do all they can do before giving up.
